What To Expect

Corning Museum of Glass

Showcasing more than 3,500 years of glassmaking history, the Corning Museum of Glass features nearly 50,000 pieces of classic and contemporary glass art and objects. See works ranging from a small Egyptian pharaoh head to an enormous Tiffany window, and discover the wonder and artistry behind glassmaking. Explore the stunning day-lit Contemporary Art + Design Wing, which houses the best of the last 25 years in glass, and a 500-seat Amphitheater Hot Shop, a space dedicated to live glass demos and design sessions. See glass created before your eyes during a live, narrated Hot Glass Demo, and be inspired to experience glassmaking for yourself during a Make Your Own Glass workshop, with projects for all ages. Choose from fused picture frames and suncatchers, sandblasted drinking glasses, flameworked beads, pulled-glass flowers, delicate blown ornaments, and seasonal projects (additional fee).

Spend as much time as you'd like at the museum touring at your own pace, and return the next day if you didn't get enough!

From the displays of ancient Egyptian through modern day glass, the Corning Museum of Glass is a glass lover's paradise. Even if you are not fascinated by glass, you will still walk away with appreciation and knowledge of the glass-making craft. Don't miss the demonstrations, so cool to watch! The gift store is amazing, too.

Thank you for your review and for visiting us.The Museum strives to offer something that everyone will enjoy. We recommend at least three hours to explore the 35 centuries of glass in the galleries, live demonstrations, and interactive exhibits. Your admission passes are valid for two consecutive days so you can explore for days. Please visit again soon!

My son is a Glass Artist who does torchwork. He was asked to teach students during a week in August. Quite an honor, so Mom and Dad had to drive from Massachusetts to see him in his element. It was a proud moment for us to see him work. But we then left to tour the museum which covers every aspect of glass you could ever imagine and aspects you would never have thought of like the glass in Space Capsules. The history going back to ancient Egypt and the works of art that have been done over the centuries- Just amazing. Worth the trip if you are anywhere near Corning!

Wow, it's wonderful to hear that you have a family connection to glassmaking! With a mission to tell the world about glass, we are always pleased when glass enthusiasts visit us. We also love it when those with limited understanding or experience with the art, history, or science of glass arrive and depart as glass enthusiasts. No matter your skill as well, you can try your hand at making glass through our Make Your Own Glass program or through more intensive studies at The Studio. Thanks for visiting, we hope to see you again soon!
